Allstate agent, Michelle Maher Ford, of the Maher Insurance Agency in Culver City, is an insurance agent with a heart. Maher is dedicated to helping people face unexpected emergencies such as cancer. Her commitment is evident in her ongoing efforts to educate the public about the availability of low-cost Cancer Insurance. This October, during Breast Cancer Awareness month, Maher reached out to The Wellness Community in West Los Angeles to maximize her efforts to educate the public about the existence of the Cancer Insurance policy. The non-profit organization, dedicated to providing free programs of support, education and hope to those affected by cancer, was a perfect fit for Maher’s goals. As a result, Maher was invited to participate in The 10th Annual FRIENDS OF WELLNESS luncheon on November 18th at The Skirball Cultural Center as a vendor in the Center’s fund-raising boutique that precedes the luncheon. For the first time ever, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase cancer insurance at the boutique.

“Most people believe that their health insurance will take care of everything. Unfortunately, that misperception couldn't be further from the truth,” states Maher. “I’m thrilled to be participating in The Wellness Community’s meaningful event. It’s a great opportunity to let people know about the existence of Cancer Insurance, such an affordable policy that costs less than most monthly cell phone subscriptions.”

Cancer Insurance offers benefits that can be used for cancer-related expenses that health insurance might not cover. For example, the policy pays up to $2000.00 when a patient is first diagnosed with cancer. Other benefits, which are paid directly to the policyholder, include screening tests such as mammograms and generous surgical and hospital benefits. “Cancer Insurance is a product specifically designed to help insured’s avoid being victimized by the financial burden of cancer. With the policy's optional return of premium feature, it’s a win-win...there's coverage if cancer strikes and a money-back guarantee if it doesn't,” explains Maher.

Maher was recently honored with Allstate’s designation as a Premier Service Agency for 2009 for demonstrating excellence in delivering an accessible, knowledgeable, and personal customer experience. Bestowed upon less than one-third of the Allstate agents in California this year, this designation was presented to Maher for her commitment to putting the customer at the center of her agency's work.
